[Regarding the fires, ~100 miles away from the castle... The jailbreak was just one guy who's already gone, so even if she's heard about it she couldn't care less.]

[There's a bit of confusion underneath all that Ted's been through in the past few days. Why wasn't Aradia back to herself yet?]

Aradia? ... how long has it been?

[psych0p0mps]

since i g0t here
496 h0urs and 13 minutes

[teds-up.livejournal.com]

In days?

[psych0p0mps]

[of course]

...twenty days? ...I thought the maximum limit for a loss was two weeks.

[psych0p0mps]

is there a maximum limit

[teds-up.livejournal.com]

[Tired.]

I don't know.

the 0ne thing that puzzles me the m0st ab0ut this 0rdeal
is that fr0m the 0utset
every0ne has assured me it will magically g0 away
as l0ng as i sit ar0und and wait f0r s0me interminable peri0d
has it n0t cr0ssed any0nes mind that i might have g0ne and been br0ught back
0r that this change
if it is a change t0 begin with
might be permanent

1 out of a number

[...... shit. he hasn't thought about that.

A permanent loss that wasn't the one you came in with-- Ted never heard of that-- but Aradia leaving and then rearriving in this state wasn't unthinkable.

It was almost more plausible than a temporary loss lasting this long.]

2/3

[... oh no.

oh no.

no no no no no.

Aradia was gone? Did the little troll who grew on him so quickly disappear, just like that?

It's like a punch to the gut, for Ted. He'd nearly died, and now... he might have to deal with the loss of a dear friend?

She could be wrong. But after going through that expedition, Ted found it difficult to stay positive.]

[teds-up.livejournal.com]

[...... oh, shoot, this was a thing he was responding to, wasn't it?

ffffffuck. what now?]

I... hh..

[He couldn't... disprove it. He didn't have the energy to.]

Aradia...

there is a good reason this comment took 5 days to write and that's because shut up. shut up is why

[psych0p0mps]

[Nope. He can't.]

Sorry.

[He shuts the journal.]
